Ever since we started the Survival world, we have been discussing PvP and even made a couple of areas specifically for it. This time, let's actually do something about it.

The combat will be on the TOGasseum. Spectators can sit in the audience area. All combatants will have to turn their /pvp on in order to participate.

The scenarios will be fairly simple for our first PvP event. The scenario victor will be the last combatant remaining in the arena. No combatant will be allowed to re-enter a scenario before it ends (ie. one life each). I have not finished working out all the scenarios but we will start with something like the following:

1) The bare necessities - Combatants will start with no weapons or armour (and empty inventories). Chests will be placed on the arena holding weapons. Once the combat starts, combatants can use their fists or any weapons they find in the arena.

2) The shield wall - Weapons will be supplied like the previous scenario. This time a few barriers will be placed on the field for combatants to use.

As the event continues, the plan is to make the barriers more complex and to expand the range of weapons and armour available. The plan will be flexible, and we can change things if the planned scenarios don't quite work.

I realise that this time may not be ideal for some people but we can always organise further events at different times. I anticipate it lasting at least one hour. People are welcome to play in the Survival world without participating or watching the combat.

I'll be missing our inaugural event - instead I'll be sitting in a motel in Mount Isa looking at spreadsheets. Have fun.

Love the new sig Sorontar.
